Not so much _low_ profile as _no_ profile...

Interesting article that, on the front page of this week's New Media Age (see below). 

Interesting for many reasons, not least because of the total lack of even a single mention of Blinkx.

This is a typical paragraph: 

"But the [Kangaroo] players [ie BBC, Channel 4, ITV] face increased competition in the market from the likes of Five (which has doubled the number of users viewing on Five Demand), Sky's recently launched Sky Player and web TV company Joost, along with potential new arrivals like Apple, Google and News Corp and NBC joint venture Hulu."

This is where Blinkx's determination to keep a low profile - although God alone knows what reason they have for doing so - is damaging the company and shareholder value. Why isn't Blink being mentioned in the same breath as the companies above? Why isn't Blinkx being mentioned at all?

How long, I wonder until there is a full-scale shareholder revolt over the way this company is being (mis)managed?
